Chapter 57: Chapter 57: The Old Father’s Psyche "Do you want me to celebrate your birthday with you?" Little Douding vigorously nodded his little head. "But your birthday party will surely host many guests, wouldn’t it be inconvenient for me to attend?" Shen Weiyi looked up at Sheng Ting. All the guests at Little Douding’s birthday would definitely be acquaintances, her being an outsider didn’t seem quite appropriate. "Don’t worry, you’re the only guest Xiao Yan personally invited. If you don’t come, Xiao Yan will definitely be upset," Sheng Ting said. "Well, alright then!" Only then did Shen Weiyi nod, and immediately turned to the living room to say, "Dad, I’m going out for a bit." Shen Juanzhi glanced at the two brothers by the door, and deep down, he didn’t really want his precious daughter to go out, but he was also afraid that girl might get mad at him. They say children at this age are in their rebellious phase. The more parents forbid them from doing something, the more they tend to do it. Being a father for the first time, Shen Juanzhi felt a mix of empathy and concern as he instructed Shen Weiyi, "Be careful, call me when you’re coming back, and I’ll pick you up." After speaking, he specifically glanced in Sheng Ting’s direction. Sheng Ting met his gaze, thinking he was worried about Shen Weiyi and quickly said, "Uncle, don’t worry, I will take good care of Miss Shen." Shen Juanzhi thought to himself: As if I’m reassured! "I got it." Shen Weiyi, unaware of her father’s conflicted feelings, turned to Sheng Ting and Little Bao, "Wait for me a bit." Initially, she thought they’d just go out like last time and play for a while, so she just wore her regular clothes. However, since it was a birthday party, it seemed impolite to wear something so casual. After a while, Shen Weiyi came downstairs. She had changed into a light lotus-colored long dress that stretched down to her calves, revealing her delicate ankles. Her skin was fair and her figure graceful, matching well with the color of the dress. "You look so beautiful, sister," Little Douding said with wide eyes, sweetly complimenting her. Shen Weiyi was charmed by his words, "Thank you, Little Bao, you look very handsome today too," she said, and then couldn’t help but kiss him on the cheek. The little guy blushed shyly. Sheng Ting looked at her, also finding her stunning. He thought she was beautiful when they first met, and now she looked even more beautiful. Only Shen Juanzhi frowned heavily. This dress was one he had picked out for that girl during a business trip not long ago. He had thought it would look good on her then, and indeed it did—they both looked great. But the thought of her going out looking so pretty with some stinky boy... Indeed, having a daughter is heartbreaking. You painstakingly raise your own little cabbage, only for it to possibly be snatched away by some pig outside any day. Little Bao’s birthday party was held at the Sheng family’s house. Getting out of the car, Little Douding eagerly pulled her towards the house. Sheng Ting went to park the car, but Little Bao couldn’t wait for him to come back and open the door, so he directly grabbed Shen Weiyi’s hand, signaling her to ring the doorbell. The door opened, and a woman with an especially good aura stepped out. Shen Weiyi felt the woman looked somewhat familiar, but couldn’t immediately recall where she had seen her. Situ Jing, seeing Shen Weiyi, also brightened up, impressed by the beautiful young lady. Taking in her complete appearance, she smiled and greeted, "You must be the pretty sister Little Bao always talks about?" Just as Shen Weiyi was wondering how to address her, she heard Sheng Ting, who had just finished parking the car and walked over, say, "This is my mom." "Mom?"
